Dear colleagues in CGP/JGP/KGP,
Below I send you my homework (action item 2) which is "writing on the
number of allocatable variants" issue. I divided it into 2 sub-issues
as below.
Hiro
=============
issues regarding "the number of allocatable variants"
=============
proposal by IP:
the number of allocatable variant strings should be small,
e.g., at most 3, as the result of RootLGR
issue-1
"what kinds of variant strings are preferred to be applied
for" cannot be predicted and should not be assumed in
RootLGR (at least in Japanese case, for example)
<reasoning>
In Japanese case, all the characters are considered to be independent.
Namely, all the strings of any combination of any characters in the
repertoire are designed to be allocatable by different TLD applicants.
However, JGP knows that CGP wants to define variants in RootLGR, and
JGP currently intends to compromise by basically importing variant
definitions from CGP. This means that such strings that have variants
in C will be packaged also in J, although they are originally
intended to be independent.
From Japanese point of view, as all the characters are originally
independent, all the strings in the package should be allocatable
even if they can be delegated to the same applicant. Moreover, the
probability of some applicant's intention to apply for a specific
string in the package is equal for all the strings in the package.
issue-2
If limitation of the number of delegated variant strings
is intended to be implemented, it should be done in
application phase or application evaluation phase - not
by RootLGR
<reasoning>
As discussed in (1), the probability of "which string is preferred"
depends on the specific string that is applied for or that is
accessed by the users. Namely, it depends on how much the specific
string is well-known to the users. This means it's not possible for
us to define WLE before asking each applicant about which variant
strings they want to apply for.
In that case, if we want to limit the number of delegated strings or
to assess whether it is appropriate for the applied-for string picked
up from the package, we need to engage measures after application(s)
of specific string(s) is(are) made.
